So could England and you'd have the added bonuses of..
The oldest football nation on earth with fans able to walk up to stadiums rather than being located 20 miles outside of the city in a former swamp. Walking past houses, cafes, pubs where you can feel the energy build.
Enjoy that pint and a sing song in a real pub in a real housing estate next to the stadium rather than 12 different concessions that all sell burgers at a mall/airport stadium concession centre.
Pricing that demands ALL fans can realistically attend rather than a cock waving wanker telling everyone he paid a million dollars for his ticket.
Communities that live a breathe the game instead of pretending they know what they're talking about for a month every 4 years.
Stadiums that are built for the game, generate noise rather than spaceship sized Disneylands that generate zero football atmosphere.
A chance for supporters to visit any one of 100 professional clubs stadiums in one small country, many within a 10 mile radius, where 150 year old rivalries have played out. You'll end up buying the shirt of a shitty club in a random town you've never heard of and it'll hit like crack for the rest of your life.
A travel experience by car or rail that could see you get to any ground from any other in 4, not 14 hours.
An opportunity to have jellied eels before going into the London stadium, jerk chicken or jollof rice at Arsenal , world class Balti pies at Villa Park or homemade top class pies at Anfield by @HomebakedBakery then sitting on the world famous Kop or beautiful new Everton stadium for a game.
Let the American mind boggle as St James's Park sits squarely in the City centre of Newcastle, not 20 miles out.
Stay in London and visit 15 or 16 professional clubs in one city.
Visit the @NFM_Shop and understand 150 years of English football culture, footballs and shirts that are half the age of your country, the world's most fascinating collection of football history.
Not everyone wants bigger, more expensive or corporate. Most fans across the globe proudly campaign for affordable pricing so that EVERYONE can enjoy and be a part of this sport.
I'll invite you to Spain and Portugal and Morocco , as my guest, for the next edition. Football cultures that from Seville to Barcelona to Bilbao to Marrakech to Lisbon to Porto to Vigo highlight difference in cultures, regions, cities and football experiences. A 24/7 living and breathing passion for the sport that unless experienced, cannot be fully comprehended or appreciated.
If you like big, corporate, burger concessioned, greed driven pricing, sure, America wins.
But if you want your mind blown, you'll go to a World Cup in Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Brazil, Argentina. I guarantee, even in jest, you'll realise how naive your comments are.
@PolitlcsUK Minimise the threshold for Cash ISAs so people move them to S&S, then tax them to fuck.
Not to mention lowering the salary sacrifice scheme to fuck all more or less.
I absolutely hate these cunts.
Inflation has eaten us alive. Wages wiped out. Savings eroded. Families poorer. Life more expensive. We are all getting ripped off. The economy does not work for us. Why?
Because Britain is addicted to the size of its own state.
It is simply far too big. The taxes to fund it are too great. The printing of money to prop it all up is so very addictive.
It is catastrophic for working men and women. It makes all of us poorer.
The indolent are rewarded, the productive are sucked dry.
There is one way to fix it, one painful way.
Slash back the size of the state, followed by enormous tax cuts and then we have to live within our means. No money printing.
Crush parasitic Britain.
We cannot tax and spend our way out of this hole.
It’s impossible.
There is one political party honest about the required pain, and that’s Restore Britain.
If you want to sit on universal credit in your pyjamas all day, don’t vote for us.
If you want to contribute and be rewarded for doing so, then there is finally a party for you.
Does this win us votes? Possibly not. I don’t know. But it’s the truth. And it needs to be said.
On Father’s Day today, my thoughts are with the thousands and thousands of dads who are kept away from their children purely because of malicious lies and a family court system that discriminates against men based on outdated and false assumptions.
Years and years. Tens of thousands of pounds. Bankruptcy. Horrific mental health struggles.
British men are put through hell.
Of course there are bad fathers, as there as bad mothers, nobody is saying otherwise - but there is no doubt in my mind that the system actively works against dads.
For decades, the role of fathers has been downplayed and underestimated - that’s reflected in the rotten family courts.
Fathers wait months to get a hearing, false allegations mean the child is taken away from them entirely. All based on one person’s word, when clearly emotions are running high.
It costs a fortune. Many men have been bankrupted trying to seeing their children.
Some of the stories I have heard from affected men are nightmarish. It does affect mums too, although clearly not in the same numbers.
It is torture. No other word for it.
None of this is about downplaying the importance of mothers (obviously) and of course there are many men (as there are women) who should not be in their children’s lives. But it has clearly swung too far, and that needs to be reversed.
That is what a Restore Britain Government will do.
Give decent and honest fathers a fair chance to be in their children’s lives.
@halfpinthitman2@paddypower Agreed, hits defender the comes back off mctominay to keeper who saves. Should be shot on target. I was screwed over as well!
The patriotic men and women of Ashton, Hindley, Winstanley, Orrell, Abram, Worsley Mesnes, Bryn, Hindley Green, Platt Bridge and everywhere else across Makerfield are going to make history today.
Vote Restore Britain.
